Rock Fitness

A Hodge podge of a gym set up in a shell of an old building. I went here to join, but the lay out and condition of the place left a lot to be desired. I’ve serious dust allergies and although the tour was only brief, I left with my lungs burning. The membership is cheap as I’ve seen anywhere but it’s not worth it in my opinion. Avoid if you’ve allergies like mine

I was very happy to discover that, at last, Dundrum has its own solid gym facilities once again. This new business in an old shell has been going under a year and seems off to a good start.
The gym equipment, which is always my first concern, is all in excellent condition and most of it seems to be brand new-​a hefty capital investment. And it’s like several mini gyms all en suite-there’s a combined cardio and weight machine area, then there’s the upstairs Elite Gym with more free-​weights and focus on the heavy stuff, a cardio classroom and a spin classroom, plus a smaller weight/​stretching area.
The building itself does need some cosmetic repairs, largely due to having been shuttered for quite awhile. And a few little touches would go a long way. Which is why I’m withholding any more stars for now.
Fer instance, while I’m happy that the men’s locker room has its own sauna and steam room, those more modest than me may not be comfortable with the lack of privacy curtains on the showers, and there is a pervasive smell of mold which may, in all fairness, just be Ireland for ya.
In a couple of areas, it’s clear that there’s still some cleanup to be done from whatever work was done to get it ready for opening, and we’ll have to hope that eventually some of those gaping openings used for access to the HVAC system do get closed off.
One nice touch-​the treadmills and elliptical machines all have their own TV screens, so I can do my afternoon work out AND get my daily fix of cartoons on TG4 as Gaeilge.
Bottom Line: I’m TOTALLY Ponc!
